1595 CNH Industrial is to manufacture 2714 SUMITOMO designed crawler excavator models between 13-35 tonnes at specific plants within its manufacturing network from mid-2016.

The announcement comes after CNH Industrial agreed to enter into a new technology license and component supply agreement with SUMITOMO (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery, a wholly owned subsidiary of SUMITOMO Heavy Industries.

This agreement also extends the existing Global Product Supply (OEM) agreement between CNH Industrial and SUMITOMO (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery for the sourcing of excavators from SUMITOMO plants.

SUMITOMO has been a supplier to the CNH Industrial global distribution network since 1992 for models ranging from 7 to 80tonnes.

“With this new agreement CNH Industrial has completed the transition from its previous dual source excavator strategy to a single global partner. This new licensing agreement builds on our successful long-term relationship with SUMITOMO. It confirms CNH Industrial’s intention to invest and leverage the most advanced specialist players in the industry in order to provide customers around the world with construction equipment that consistently delivers performance and productivity” said Richard Tobin, CNH Industrial CEO and brand president of 176 Case and 5895 New Holland Construction. “We are excited to embark on this new phase of our partnership with SUMITOMO (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery as it secures our supply position in this important product category and increases our manufacturing flexibility to meet the demands of our customers”.

Mikio Ide, president of SUMITOMO (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery, said, “SUMITOMO and CNH Industrial’s relationship will reach a new stage as both companies pursue synergies through this agreement. By maintaining and building on the strong relationship between the two companies, we will aim to grow our market share in the construction machinery sector.”
